About
In 1992 Eric Prey moved to Missouri to work for Bass Pro Shops as a manager, he had grown up loving to fish and spend time on the water. As a child he would study Bassmaster, Fishing Facts and In-Fisherman magazines intently. He would ride his bike to the local pond or creek and fish from daylight to dark. The move to Missouri and it’s numerous lakes was like a dream come true, Table Rock, Lake of the Ozarks, Stockton, Truman and the others were all a part of his childhood study. After a couple of years at Bass Pro Shops he had met several professional fisherman and fishing guides and realized he needed to be a fishing guide. In 1996 Eric took his US Coast Guard exam and became a licensed captain, by 2000 he had decided that he enjoyed putting people on fish more than anything he had done before and became a full time fishing guide. Through the years Eric met several interesting people from all walks of life. In 2014 he met Bob Bueltmann the founder of Bassingbob.com, a website designed to provide anglers with current in-depth fishing information for Lake of the Ozarks.
Bassingbob.com provides local and weekend anglers, vacationers and tournament fishermen access to interactive Lake of the Ozarks maps, daily fishing reports with photos and videos, expert tips and how-to-articles, photos and photo-sharing capabilities, a community forum, and many other bass fishing resources. Since launching Bassingbob.com in July 2013, Bob and his team have assisted thousands of fishermen with techniques to catch more and bigger fish! Bassingbob.com also focuses on drawing more visitors and attention to the Lake through social marketing, and continuously community engagement. The MO Water Patrol Regatta reported the number of boats at the lake increased from 19k in 2013 to 23k in 2014! BassingBob.com even plans and executes their very own bass fishing tournament annually, drawing hundreds of anglers (and their families) to the lake over the winter months.
In late 2018 Bob and Eric decided to work together to bring the same comprehensive information to Table Rock Lake by creating a new website, TableRockFishingIntel.com. After two long years of development in February of 2020 the website became a reality. Now anglers on Table Rock Lake have access to daily fishing reports, instructional videos, expert tips, comprehensive fishing maps, how to articles and much more. The expert staff at TableRockFishingIntel.com is comprised of top professional tournament anglers, the best fishing guides on the lake and industry leaders in the tackle and marine business. Everyone of them brought together to help Table Rock Lake anglers catch more and bigger fish.
TableRockFishingIntel.com is more than just a website; hospitality tents at local tournaments, support for charity events, offering volunteers for High School and College fishing events and sponsoring fund raisers and educational events at local tackle stores. TableRockFishingIntel.com is engaged with the Table Rock Community and will continue to support area businesses, youth fishing groups, charities and anglers for years to come.
